Class Schedule

Week 1: Slab Cylinders
Let’s get away from symmetrical, circular pots! Learn how to make mugs, jugs and vases from a simple cylinder. We will add personality using “darts” and stretch our shapes to achieve unique oval forms.

Week 2: Handles, Spouts & Lids
We will add handles, spouts and lids to our creations from the previous week using slab, coils, slump molds or sculpting your own decorative finials by hand!

Week 3: Mini Plates & Bowl Sets
Make a set of mini dishes using a variety of techniques from slab. We will use these dishes as blank canvases to decorate the following week.

[We take a 1 week break in order to prepare for the glaze class]

Week 4: Glaze
Learn how to prepare pots for glazing and experiment with different colour combinations and techniques. All your pieces will come out of the kiln food-safe and ready to use!
